Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation.

`y-6=-2x`

Begin with `b,`the y-intercept:

Type the number only. Do NOT enter a coordinate.

To find the y-intercept, we first need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Starting with the given equation:

\(y - 6 = -2x\)

Add 6 to both sides:

\(y = -2x + 6\)

From this form, we can identify:

  • The slope (m) is -2.
  • The y-intercept (b) is 6.

Now, answering your question:

b: 6
